Trump revokes Secret Service protection for Kamala Harris

President Donald Trump revoked former Vice President Kamala Harris’ Secret Service security detail, the Associated Press reported, citing a senior White House official.

Vice presidents typically receive Secret Service protection for six months after their term of office ends. But former President Joe Biden signed an order extending protection for Harris before he left office, another unnamed official told the Associated Press. The order would have lasted for an additional year, according to the BBC.

A senior advisor for Harris told CNN that the former vice president was grateful to the members of the Secret Service for professionalism, dedication, and commitment to safety.
